METHOD FOR PROGRAMMING RESOURCE ACTIONS IN A DOMESTIC COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

The invention concerns a method for programming resource actions in a domestic apparatus network, characterised in that it consists in: transmitting a request for programming an action by a client application to a pre-programmed action manager of an apparatus of the network, said request comprising a set of parameters defining the action and a list of resources required for performing the action; verifying by said manager of actions whether the resources required for performing the action are available; transmitting to the client application a message accepting or refusing the action by the manager of pre-programmed actions based on the verification result. The invention is particularly applicable in a network based on a IEEE 1394-1995 bus and using the HAVi architecture.
